I'm so glad I've stumbled upon this story because there aren't enough stories about children around here! And that's sad because they're always fun to read about, the way they're -mostly- outgoing and how to them the options are limitless. And I think you've shown that very well here and I am intrigued to see all the things they'll get to do!

I really liked the tone of the chapter. It gave Lily a distinctive voice, especially the way there were labels for everyone. What I also think is admirable is how calculated everything is! I would die if I had to chronologically arrange the Weasley family members leaving off to Hogwarts, but you've done a great job at it. Being told by Lily how each 'dropping off' was helped me understand a little better why she and Hugo would want to make the most of their last year before Hogwarts; they know what to expect once they get there.

I'm really hoping I'll get the time to see where this goes because it really does seem very interesting and exciting!

Author's Response: Hi there! :D

I always find it so sad that there are few pre-Hogwarts stories too, and even then, they're mostly pretty patronising. I remember not being at secondary school and feeling I could do anything, and I wanted to make them more real!

Aw thankyou! Yes, I liked a lot of labelling myself then (still do, really) and I think with that many cousins it'd sort of be necessary :P haha arranging all the cousins was a bit hard, but I just went with what my headcanon was for the time and hoped for the best lol.

I'm glad that it's helped you to see why Lily and Hugo are desperate to have a good year! I did want to show why they're so into planning and why it means so much, and her cousins have had so much of a big impact on her life that they're both feeling that they need to make it rememberable.
